FAT32 is not very practical system for sizes over 32GB. Even Windows refuses to format partitions over 32GB with FAT32. I guess FAT table is too large to be efficiently handled by memory restricted devices. See table and explanation here http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/ref/hdd/file/partFAT32.html I wonder if they will agree on some different filesystem for bigger cards or try to stretch FAT32 beyond 32GB.
